A great way to display original artwork or canvas art prints (giclees)  is to mount them in floater frames.  The floater frames give a real contemporary feel to artwork.  We make custom floater frames in natural wood or a satin black finish.  You can just specify the sizeof the art, and we will make any size to fit.  The frames come with the attaching hardware.  The floater frames come in two sizes:  the regular 3/4" to accomodate stand canvas, or deep profile for 1 1/2  gallery type canvas.  The above photograph features printed giclee artwork by Loretta Mcnair framed in the natural 3/4" regular floater frames.  It is truely an economical way to display artwork professionally
